We were turned away from several places in town so we tried this place and I am SO glad otherwise we’d never have found it. There is NO way I’ll be going anywhere else for Italian ever again. All the staff here are fantastic and the service is very personal. Fine dining at an amazing price, all food is fresh, even saw the chap making our pizza! The flavours in the food were out of this world, I don’t mean to exaggerate but dormant tastebuds were genuinely awoken! Date night, family meal, birthdays? You will not be disappointed. It’s a shame this place is where it is as it can be deceiving, we don’t deserve a place like this

an unexpected gem just off the main High Street. fantastic authentic neopolitan pizza with incredibly fresh toppings and the giant prawns (huge) and mussels were 5 star restaurant quality. really lovely staff they were very attentive and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. should have taken pictures of the food for a great review but as soon as we saw it we ate it! 🤣 highly recommended!

Wow. Just amazing. Everything you want and need in an Italian restaurant. The food was amazing and fast. Fresh and tasty. I honestly ate too much but couldn't stop. The staff were so polite and professional. A touch of family run and personal touch. Bread and olives with spicy tomato garlic bread. Spaghetti Bolognese with French chicken and a vegetarian spaghetti. Honestly it was the best meal I've had this year so far. Well recommended and a must if you are in the area. Thank you guys for a great meal and a lovely experience.

One of the best pizzas I've had in years. I ate the whole thing and wasn't bloated as the dough is proved for 24 hours. You can see the chef cooking.

We just found the place accidentaly but it was the best part of our trip. The guy (owner and chef) was really friendly with us. The place was nice and clean, the food quality was spot on, I tasted a nice sicilian beer as well, and we felt ourselves like real welcomed guests. We was invited for a good coffee (real italian espresso 👌) after the meal and some lemon spirit, too. Thank you for the service! If I go back to this area, I definiately come back! 5+*

We were in Southend this weekend and found this incredible Italian restaurant. Food was excellent, wine was excellent quality and the service was above and beyond. I highly recommend this restaurant.
